Bondo Billy has the HFH ("Hawk From Hell"), but I am now the proud owner of the LLHH ("Looks Like Hell Hawk"). It has been covered in POR 15 that is now starting to peel (but no rust peeking through :D) But JP was right, it does run well and starts with the first bump of the key.

The body did not look that bad for the money, but I figured it was worth it for the interior and drive line. You may find a lot of stuff peeking once you scrape the paint off.:) I'm not over the moon about the frame either, but I think it may have a stainless exhaust system. (Or was that another Hawk):)

Don't know about a "LLHH," but that's a POR looking Hawk you've got!:D:D:D

I think that Tom mentioned that it may be a SS exhaust, but I took care to make sure the pipes did not drag when I loaded it on the rollback. I think it has some rot in the body mounts, but I have not had time to look at it as I took out several trees in my back yard and have been loading up the laps.

Funny how things work out; you got that one, and I got one with a 289( has JT or something like that in the engine #), which I prefer over the 259 in yours; you got your interior, Leonard got out from under his, etc. etc...

Keep me in mind on those WWWs[:p] And- look over those body mounts; if they're decent, and I'm here with good tin and floors............maybe a trip to VA for another corpse;)
